SAN ANTONIO — A train struck a Humvee that had been driven onto railroad tracks by a teenager early Monday, authorities said. The boy, who received minor injuries, had driven around a school bus stopped at the crossing, according to reports.

The North East ISD bus was slightly damaged, reports said, but the school district said no students were on board and the bus driver was not injured in the incident at Wetmore Road and MacArthur View, near San Antonio International Airport.
